This illusion knit pattern is one of a growing list of designs and is based on the character from the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling.

Snape joins Draco Malfoy, Hagrid and, of course, Harry Potter as designs based on characters from these books.

The third and fourth photographs here are of projects completed by rescuer8 and the fifth and sixth show the view of the piece from directly in front and from directly behind.

If you have already purchased the Severus Snape Illusion Shawl pattern then you can purchase this one at half price.

September 2013 UpdateThe pattern now includes an extra chart intended for tablet users but others may find it helpful. You can view 20 ridges at a time and always be able to see the numbers across the bottom of the chart. Never lose your place again!
